GOP Rep. Don Bacon is facing challenges from the far-right faction of his party, who are actively campaigning against him and other Republican incumbents. This intraparty conflict has led to a breach of protocol on Capitol Hill, with members openly supporting primary challengers against their colleagues.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good endorsed Bacon's GOP rival, prompting Bacon to reciprocate by supporting Good's opponent. This move signifies a departure from the usual practice of not campaigning against sitting party members.
